Brands you HATE

aproctor · 15 May 2008 at 17:10

what brands would you never go back too?

antec & hiper psu's clog up and go boom
xfx graphics cards - awful customer service
elixer ram - again awful customer service and woeful warranty

belkin for anything network related. urgh

Janesy B · 15 May 2008 at 17:12

Asus
Belkin network equipment is utter toss
FSP Group PSU's, one nearly blew my hand clean off!

Deer for PSUs. Got one in a barebones system and it couldn't handle my X1650pro for a basic display. Pile o' pants.

Strife212 · 15 May 2008 at 17:16

Don't like Asus motherboards, honestly can't see why they are so raved over

marc2003 · 15 May 2008 at 17:16

creative (lack of driver support when vista first came out - trouble is i'm an idiot and forgot i hated them when i bought my zen stone.

)
microsoft keyboards (software & mice are fine

)
sapphire - employ a bunch of tossers to moderate their forums

sapphire graphics card: x1950pro agp . had to rma twice.
via : dammit im stuck with a motherboard which should be able to run a 8800gt fine but the chipset seems to have issues.
belkin : really cheese me off (thats using the bluetooth dongle thing).

i dont really have a beef with cpu makers (intel or amd ... they are both good dammit)

lynchy6789 · 15 May 2008 at 17:30

Belkin- For any network related hardware
Inno3D- For GFX

its personal opinion btw and why dont you stop Criticising everything i post.

aproctor · 15 May 2008 at 17:32

are you saying you hate amd as they are not fast enough?

Barrybear · 15 May 2008 at 17:34

had bad experience in the past with AMD. and no im not going to list them was years ago and have better things to do with my time than argue with you.

aproctor · 15 May 2008 at 17:35

i'm not arguing ive just never heard of a problem with amd tbh

p4radox · 15 May 2008 at 17:36

Creative, for their blatant lack of driver support and interest in their customers.

Indeed. They might be behind in terms of performance at the high end, but there's not really an reliability issues etc...

Fothsn · 15 May 2008 at 17:38

I tend to avoid creative (soundcards) wouldn’t say I hate them though

Valo · 15 May 2008 at 17:39

DLink & Belkin networking products
ASUS Motherboards - Sometimes I feel they're rushed to market regardless if the bios is finished or not

Indy500 · 15 May 2008 at 17:42

Aopen (naff motherboards)
ECS (see above)
BFG (3 dead graphics cards in a row - when I only wanted the VIVO chip fixed)
Powercolor (misleading names, such as a Radeon 9600 "Pro" with 200mhz memory speed)
Any no-name PSU maker (way too many have gone up in smoke)

CliffyBiro · 15 May 2008 at 17:45

Maxtor. Awful products.

EdGey · 15 May 2008 at 17:50

akasa, and the people that make the saitek eclipse's (in huff cos mine didnt work)
